Dear friends and colleagues,

.

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Bled, one of Slovenia’s most picturesque places, for the 6th Slovenian Endocrinology Congress.

.

Building on the platform of our previous successful and fruitful meetings, this Congress has been designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the latest development in endocrinology and diabetes, including the plenary lectures on gene therapy, modern therapy in type 2 diabetes, long term treatment of osteoporosis, testosterone replacement therapy and diabetic nephropathy. New insights into use of modern technologies in the treatment of diabetes, hot topics in pituitary and adrenal diseases, Graves’ disease, fatty liver disease and inborn errors of metabolism will be also discussed. Other highlights to be presented are novelties in pathophysiology of diabetes, calcium disorders, reproductive endocrinology, and vascular disease in diabetes. Plenty of time in the programme is dedicated to productive discussions between the participants through debates of controversial and clinically relevant issues.

.

We hope that you will enjoy the Congress and that your interaction with your colleagues will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding. We also hope and trust that you will enjoy your visit to the very beautiful and exciting town of Bled.
